In case they reject it, I am copying it here:<br /><br />&quot;<i>It&#39;s amazing how it took the Tab the better part of a day to post this news, which was originally broken by the Boston Globe early this morning. It&#39;s a page 1 story on the Globe, how could the Tab have missed it? Or is the idea not to link to or reference the Boston Globe at all?<br /><br />What&#39;s even more amazing is the Tab has thus far failed to use its own reporters who know Newton best to work on a major national story with a local angle. The Newton pipe bomb connection was revealed two weeks ago, yet last week&#39;s print edition had nothing, and the best the Tab could muster online was a sloppy GateHouse News Service rewrite of a WCVB story. Can&#39;t Newton Tab reporters dig into this story, like the people at the Globe and WCVB have done? <br /><br />Maybe tomorrow&#39;s print edition will have something of substance from the Tab&#39;s own staff, but based on the coverage so far I am not getting my hopes up.</i>I Lamonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681877739319223934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7493231.post-39492219001438215582010-02-23T10:03:36.505-05:002010-02-23T10:03:36.505-05:00Major update on the Newton bomb story from the Bos...Major update on the Newton bomb story <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/02/23/atf_files_show_talk_of_revenge_from_bishops_husband_in_93_bomb_case/" rel="nofollow">from the Boston Globe</a> -- actually the top online story this morning -- but I couldn&#39;t find anything on the Newton Tab site about it.I Lamonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14681877739319223934noreply@blogger.com
